The Lord's Prayer

Matthew 6:9-15

Key Verse: 6:9b,10

 

“Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.”

 

1. Read verses 9-13. Think about each one: First, “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.” What does this teach about who God is? Why “our” Father? How we should approach him? (Eph 3:12) What does it mean to hallow his name? (Rev 4:8-11; Isaiah 6:3)

 

2. Second, “your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” What does this teach us about God’s great vision and heart’s desire? About Jesus’ mission and purpose? About the nature of God’s kingdom?

 

3. Third, “Give us today our daily bread.” Why “our”? Why do we ask for “daily” bread? What does this teach us about our relationship to God and to our fellow human beings?

 

4. Fourth, “Forgive us our debts as we have forgiven our debtors.” What is meant by “debts”? (14-15) Why is it so important to forgive and to be forgiven? (Col 2:14) (Mt 18:21-35)

 

5. Fifth, “Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one?” What does temptation have to do with the evil one? How should we deal with temptation? (Heb 4:15-16; 1Cor 10:13)
